Yes.

Explanation:

Magnesium nitrate or #Mg(NO_3)_2# is in fact a salt, because it is neutral and formed from an acid-base reaction.

If we take nitric acid and react it with magnesium hydroxide for example, we can make a salt.

The reaction is thus:

#2HNO_3(aq)+Mg(OH)_2(aq)->Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)#
